Graduate Profiles

Lorna Wren

Over my four years I have always tried to be positive and work hard to achieve good grades, and while at times I felt my performance was below my capabilities, I just looked for ways to improve determined not to make the same mistakes again.  The small class sizes and fantastic lecturers at IT Tallaght have contributed to the ease at which I have progressed from one year to the next.

I was selected for interview by Price Waterhouse-Coopers this November.  I may not have even applied for the position if it wasn't for the encouragement of my accounting lecturer.  When they offered me a trainee position along with sponsored masters I was dumb founded - Obviously I accepted!
